Mr John Moll, principal, outlined the meetings and their purpose While you were out we met with the teachers many times during this time At these meetings we discussed the problems facing us. looked at possible solutions, and asked for any suggestions Teaching time lost was the problem Mr Moll cited as most important Others were the physical damage done to the building and facilities, such as. parking lot break-ups. gas line cracks, and damage to the roof When asked about problems in getting back into the swing of things. Mr Moll said. Really, the students responded well to get- ting back on schedule In fact, after the first 5 or 6 days of snow, many students came up to me to see if we were going back soon Finally, the rain and snow stopped and the sun peeped out of the cloudy skies After many horus of indecision as to whether the parking lot and entrance to the school were negotiable, the school was opened and the students picked up where they had left off No matter what may be said, the survivors will never forget the Winter of ' 77 P
